TMC to focus on grassroots level, says Sushmita

After the receiving a drubbing in the Tripura Urban Local Body polls, Trinamool Congress leadership is eying to strengthen its organization up to the grassroots level.

 

And, as far as the State Committee or for that matter, main ‘face’ of the party in Tripura is concerned, TMC supporters will have to keep finger crossed and wait further.

 

TMC MP Sushmita Dev on Monday said, an extended meeting of the party’s steering committee was held led by general secretary Abhishek Banerjee in Agartala ‘on Sunday and present political and organizations issues were discussed in details.

 

She said, convener of Tripura steering committee of TMC, Subal Bhowmik was already asked to hold meetings to seek suggestions from district and block level activists to appoint leaders.

 

“After verifying the ground reports, a shortlist of block and district leaderships will be made by one month and it will be sent to AITC general secretary,” the MP told the media.

 

She said the steering committee meeting also focused on the shortcomings at TMC’s end in the recent civic body polls in Tripura.

 

Replying to a query, Dev said, about 99.9 percent chance is there that a state party of the TMC would be opened by January 31 next.

 

Meanwhile the TMC in a series of tweets highlighted that the government had created pressure on students and employees to be present during the Prime Minister’s rally on Tuesday.

 

In this context, Dev said the Prime Minister’s rally would fail to make any impact on TMC’s position in Tripura as BJP’s credibility had already turned zero.

 

Meanwhile, before leaving the state on Tuesday TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee had interactions with the journalists.
